Mog book club? Song is You by Arthur Phillips

If there was ever a MOG book club, The Song is You, should be the first book we all need to be reading. The book is all about how the songs we love become an integral apart of our every day existence that is the soundtrack of our life.

Here's an excerpt:

"But no, music lasted longer than anything it inspired...He listened to the old songs again, years later on that same dark promenade, when every CD he had ever owned sat nestled in that greatest of all human inventions, the I-Pod, dialed uo and yeilding to his fingertip's tap. The songs now offered him, in exchange for all he had lost, the sensation that there was something still to long for, still, something still approaching, and all that had gone before was merely prologue to an unimaginably profound love yet to seize him. If there was any difference now, it was only that his hunger for music had become more urgent, less a daily pleasure than a daily craving."

The Song is You attempts to answer the inevitable question that Cat Power eloquently asked in Song to Bobby: "Can you tell me who you were singing to?"
